Zombie apocalypses have flirted with the idea of “zombies—they’re just like us!” plenty of times, but few have leaned into the idea as effectively as Gregory, who tells the story of a frozen baby who turns out to be of the undead when found—and adopted by—a local family. Raised in a living household, Stony doesn’t fit in anywhere—not with the living, not with his fellow zombies. This is probably the most tragic zombie story ever written.
